Re: [PATCH 10/14] bpf: Re-initialize lnode in bpf_ksym_del

When bpf_prog is removed from kallsyms it's on the way
out to be removed, so we don't care about lnode state.

However the bpf_ksym_del will be used also by bpf_trampoline
and bpf_dispatcher objects, which stay allocated even when
they are not in kallsyms list, hence the lnode re-init.

The list_del_rcu commentary states that we need to call
synchronize_rcu, before we can change/re-init the list_head
pointers.

Wouldn't it make more sense to have patches 7 though 10 as a one
patch? It's a generalization of ksym from being bpf_prog-specific to
be more general (which this initialization fix is part of, arguably).
